I Can't Be Your Friend (Live from the United Kingdom)

This song was written for me

By Brian and by the lovely Don Black

And I'm very honoured it's a new song

It's on Anthems

Ah we've done a slightly different version of it

This is I Can't Be Your Friend

There should have been some tears

There should have been some pain

You didn't raise your voice

It didn't even rain

And so our story ends

The way we didn't plan

Can you live without me

I don't believe you can

We're putting on brave faces

Acting like we don't care

Pride won't get us anywhere

This can't be over

This can't be true

You know you're a part of me

And I'm a part of you

This can't be over

This can't be the end

'Cos I'm your true lover

I can't be your friend

So after all this time

I don't know who you are

We should have talked it through

Before we got this far

We're putting on brave faces

Pretending we don't care

Pride won't get us anywhere

This can't be over

This can't be true

You know you're a part of me

And I'm a part of you

This can't be over

This can't be the end

'Cos I'm your true lover

I can't be your friend

'Cos I'm your true lover

Don't ask me to be your friend

I can't be your friend

Ooh oooh

Thank you very much

I Can't Be Your Friend - Brian May
